9:49 Here we are at Still in Old Towne P-Town. Is there an ‘e’ at the end of ‘Towne’? Who do you think I am, Chaucer?

… (I’m so tired)

This is our waitress. I am not allowed to comment further.

9:53 Most everyone, it seems, is dressed up 1930s style. Very fun. Everyone except for me and BC Wilson. “I’m very sure I’m not in period costume,” BC says. He’s wearing a Barney’s button-up shirt. I’d say he’s right.

9:55 This party is to celebrate… wait for it… I’m not even going to say it. But here’s the Wikipedia explaining how/why/when of Prohibition being repealed. In other news, someone just came up to me like they knew me from the war. I had never seen him before in my life. This made me so nervous that I shook his hand, bowed, and proceeded to kiss him good, hard, and long on the mouth. (The kids are asleep, right?)

10:00 BC just left and came back with this:

One of them is from Hungary, one is from Germany, one is from New Zealand. Put them all together and they are the Bohemian Rhapsody video.

10:06 This bar has a speak-easy vibe to it to begin with. It’s underground, is just off the main drag, and the plaster is chipped in some places to oh-so-artfully reveal the brick underneath. BC’s cheese and pepperoni plate just arrived. Forget the snappily dressed guys in their fedoras and slick suits, and all the beautiful girls… BC is chewing some pepperoni: NOW it’s a party.

10:17  Alert: We have spotted someone doing the Charleston. BC just noted, “This is it. Smoking is done. This is my first non-smoking event I’ve been in this area. And I have to say, I really like it.”

10:20 In related news, somebody puked in our building’s elevator last night, and this morning the maintenance staff covered it with 45-gallons of lemon-scented acid. I tried to hold my breath through the ride to eighth floor and only made it to about the third. (The message to the people trying to kill me is, drown me. I’d go down easy peasy.)

10:27 I’ve just been informed that both Old and Town have ‘e’s. BC spent the last ten minutes hugging me saying, “It’s not your fault” over and over.

10:36  “The matre’d is so hot I want to choke someone,” Hannah just said. That’s the spirit!

10:38  People who’ve never been here are very impressed. Somebody compared it to a German “rattskeller,” which has to be a good thing, right? Somebody else compared it to The Cavern, where the Beatles were discovered. It’s packed but doesn’t feel crowded, one of those kinds of places.

Parties where people dress up are fun. So is Photo Booth on the Mac. So is sleeping on the couch.

10:49 “I do feel a little bit more like I’m in Europe than I have in a long time,” BC just said. Our friend Matt is about to try the bathwater gin they’re doling out in the corner. “I don’t know how to feel about this,” Matt said. “They’re serving bathtub gin out of a baby bathtub.” He then downed it in all it’s pink ginny glory.

10:57 By the way, this guy IS NOT here right now:

Things like Googling 'zubaz' happen when you're drinking in front of the Internet.

11:03 Mike Gruss and Meghan Hoyer of The Pilot just showed up. I’ve been meaning to write an article about this, but did you know that Pilot reporters don’t accept free food at events they’re covering? I saw Mike Gruss at an event at CPK and he wouldn’t even have a slice. That’s integrity. He looked as sad as a dog thrown outside during Thanksgiving dinner, but that’s still integrity.

11:09 My roommate Liz is here. She just said that, “Men look better in vests or suspenders than in any other clothes. They should always wear them.” For some reason I responded by asking her if she’s an Internet sensation.

“Yes,” she replied decisively.

11:11 And it’s actually true! She’s half of the ‘twicurls’ on Youtube. They make fun of Twilight and teenage girls love them by the tens of thousands. They’ve even been on MTV. Alexa Chung made fun of them. Youtube ‘twicurls.’ And she’s more or less single. Contact us for details. Or offers.

11:20 Here’s our group as currently assembled. From left: Jesse, Liz, BC, and Hannah-o.

"I have so many feelings," Liz just said. "Save it for the bunk beds, kiddo."

11:22 “I’ve been with pregnant women,” BC said. “What, like your wife?” Hannah responded. Then we all downed our drinks and cuddled under the table like we were scared of robbers.

11:27 Our very own Mira Boykin is supposed to be here, but isn’t, so we checked out her Facebook. This is what we found:
